Grahani Roga is a frequent GI tract ailment that affects people in the modern period. It is directly linked
to poor eating habits and a stressful lifestyle. The primary role of Grahani, which is located in
Mahasrota between Amashaya and Pakwashaya, is to keep the ahara until the conclusion of
Avasthapaka and then transmit it into Pakvashaya. It is also referred to as the sixth kala, or Pittadhara
Kala, where Jatharagni lives. Grahani roga can be identified in any person exhibiting symptoms such
as alternate hard and loose bowel movements, abdominal discomfort, foul-smelling stool passage, and
mucus in faecal matter. According to contemporary research, the following symptoms are associated to
IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). The intestinal wall becomes sensitive to even little stimuli in people
with IBS, which results in excessive cramping in the abdomen and changes both the bowel movement
and the indigestion. In India, around 15% of adults suffer with IBS. In this instance, an attempt was
made to treat a 50-year-old male patient with abhyanga, and oral medications with properties like
dipana, pachana, medhya, etc. for 60 consecutive days. The patient also had symptoms like
Muhurbaddha Muhurdravam, sarujam ama-apakwa puti Malapravritti,bahusho bimunchati, etc. After
receiving therapy for 60 days, the patient's symptoms significantly improved, and further testing was
performed.
